A sample chapter is available here. Bruxy Cavey is the pastor of a Canadian emerging church called “The Meeting House” and author of The End of Religion, a book that gives a good look at the theology of the “mainstream” emerging church. Cavey pushed plenty of my happy buttons, with early admissions that he wasContinue reading “Recommendation and Review: The End of Religion by Bruxy Cavey”

Recommendation but No Review: Divine Canine by the Monks of New Skete
I don’t have a dog, but I’ve had several in the past and I want another one. I’m trying to make up my mind on that one. We loved our Scottie, and Denise loves German Shepherds. We could always love a mutt or two. I could stand the time thinking about something other than theContinue reading “Recommendation but No Review: Divine Canine by the Monks of New Skete”
Recommendation and Review: Running Scared by Edward Welch
It’s going to be a bit of a book review week here at IM. I’m backed up with several books I’ve needed to review and I’m going to try and get them all in in the next few days. The Biblical counseling movement has never gotten very high marks from me. I’ll spare you theContinue reading “Recommendation and Review: Running Scared by Edward Welch”

Enroll in “The Theology Program” (Online Version) Next Week
I don’t plug schools or teaching ministries in this space, and I don’t promote what I’m not convinced represents the values of this audience just because I get some free materials. If I tell you it’s worth your time and money, it will be. And if it proves to be otherwise, I’ll eat crow inContinue reading “Enroll in “The Theology Program” (Online Version) Next Week”
Recommendation and Review: The Second Chance, A Film By Steve Taylor
Peter Chataway has a great interview with Steve Taylor at his site. Every year during Martin Luther King, Jr. week I try to show a film that raises issues of racial reconciliation. Last year, one of my teacher friends, Jim Kelly, recommended I use Steve Taylor’s feature film directorial debut, The Second Chance. My initialContinue reading “Recommendation and Review: The Second Chance, A Film By Steve Taylor”
Recommendation and Review: The Books of the Bible (TNIV)
So now that a whole new crop of you are sure that I don’t believe the Bible at all, let’s all try to actually read it, OK? The Books of the Bible is an edition of the TNIV translation in rearranged, reformatted text without verse numbers, chapter numbers or subheadings. (Chapter and verse numbers appearContinue reading “Recommendation and Review: The Books of the Bible (TNIV)”
Recommendation and Review: Making Senses Out of Scripture by Mark P. Shea
A large part of my ministry is involved in teaching Bible survey to high school students. Last year, I expanded that ministry to teaching an adult Bible survey course. Along the way, I’ve been on the lookout for resources that accomplish some of the important tasks involved in teaching an overview and basic understanding ofContinue reading “Recommendation and Review: Making Senses Out of Scripture by Mark P.

Recommendation and Review: Consuming Jesus by Paul Metzger
There’s been a bunch of detailed reviews of Multnomah Bible professor Paul Metzger’s book Consuming Jesus already out there. (Be sure and check out the Scot McKnight–Darryl Dash debate for one.) I’m not going to try and weigh in on the issues better people are discussing. I may sound a little “Joel Osteen on LarryContinue reading “Recommendation and Review: Consuming Jesus by Paul Metzger”
